What are the light rim brake road rims that fit that category? I’ve seen 28h touring wheels that are wide and heavy and disc-only. I’m less familiar with the road side, except for proprietary Mavic/Campy/Shimano etc sets. I’d prefer to build my own wheels with standard spokes/hubs/drillings etc.

QUOTE=Atlas Shrugged;23705043]Wheel technology and materials have changed substantially, and a 28-spoke wheel is considered a robust build. I regularly tour with a 28-spoke wheelset, and most gravel wheelsets are 24-spoke. You will be fine if the build is done is well. The premise that 32 and 36-spoke wheels are a necessity for durability is a belief from the past and no longer relevant.[/QUOTE]
